I'm still looking for a good Denver bar...

Been here now three times and each time its the same thing, bartenders that act like they are too lazy to want to do their jobs, 28ish year olds wearing make up trying to look 20, and (on karioke night) str8 people that get drunk and loud. Everytime I have been its been the drugged out looking undesirables or some people that I am pretty sure were homeless. It seems like Denver has two types of bars, snobby, pretentious wanna be queens, or drug-induced street trash, can someone please suggest just a bar where you can get good, friendly service, nice normal people to talk with, a hook up if you want but without being molested,...does that exist here?

Charlies is not SAFE

Attention Spring Breaker for Spring Break 2016. Charlies is the most dangerous GLBT bar in Denver. Charlie’s security will not keep you safe!!! Recently, Charlie’s has had police incidents including methamphetamine possession, illegal weapon possession, 4 assaults, thefts, and cars stolen. Stay safe and stay away from this place. Just last month of February 2016, here are the crimes at Charlie’s as verified with Denver Police: 02/22/16 Meth Poss. 9:10PM Incident # 2016114342 02/22/16 Weapon Poss. 9:10PM Incident #2016114342 02/21/16 ASSAULT 12:15AM Incident #2016110129 02/13/16 LARCENY 11:50PM Incident #20166001530 02/11/16 Auto Theft 11:30PM Incident #201693176 02/03/16 Theft/Larceny 11:45PM Incident #20166001644 Charlie’s management ignores the fact that they are breaking all the rules for many business practices to protect their customers by erasing video, deleting social media reviews, and refusing to comment on questions on failing restaurant report card when nicely asked by FOX31Denver’s Heidi Hemmat. Charlie’s is a great bar to stay away from. When legitimate complaints are filed with the Denver Police, Denver Health Department inspectors, and customers using social media business rating sites, Charlie’s management ignores the legitimate complaints and continues doing BAD BUSINESS AS USUAL.

Used to be a great club. New owners ruined it.

If you are looking for country dancing and cowboys you are out of luck. Charlie's is a club that has lost its identity and it's customers. Go elsewhere.

This is a Great Review

My experience after being a customer for 20 years was an assault last April. Charlie’s turned a deaf ear on my vicious assault. When confronted by Denver Police, they “conveniently” replaced their security system thus destroying the footage of my assault. That is bad business according standard security practices for bars and night clubs and police. Secondly, management obviously does not have Pride in their own GLBT bar. Case in point. On June 21, 2015 pride Sunday after their 4am afterhours party, Charlies was too lazy to clean their bathrooms for their customers that chose Charlies to drink cocktails before the grand 40th Annual Pride Celebration PARADE. Charlie’s competition uses professional cleaning companies to thoroughly clean bathrooms the early morning’s hours when venues are closed. No wonder why Charlie’s competitor was used to host the annual Pride pool party. In recent years, Charlies earned an “F” on their restaurant report card for 10 critical violations including dead & alive roaches, rodent droppings, numerous small flying insects in bottles of Vermouth, Wild Turkey and Highland Park whisky. There were accumulations of food and debris on the soda guns, walls, and various ice machines and on the hard floors. The management refused to comment when asked by FOX 31. Charlie’s management ignores the fact that they are breaking all the rules for many business practices to protect their customers by erasing video, deleting social media reviews, and refusing to comment on questions on failing restaurant report card when nicely asked by FOX31Denver’s Heidi Hemmat. Charlie’s is a great bar to stay away from. When legitimate complaints are filed with the Denver Police, Denver Health Department inspectors, and customers using social media business rating sites, Charlie’s management ignores the legitimate complaints and continues doing BAD BUSINESS AS USUAL.
